Sourdough & Raising Autistic Disciples

What does sourdough have to do with an autism diagnosis? More than you think. In this episode of Raising Autistic Disciples, I sit down with Courtney Moody of Acts of Sourdough to talk about motherhood, marriage, discipline, safe foods, Domino's pizza… and what happens when the sky "isn't blue anymore" after receiving a diagnosis. Courtney shares candidly about: * The guilt that creeps in with every questionnaire * The "tango" between "It's my fault" and "It was always going to be this way" * Navigating the controversial conversations around obedience and autism * Loving your child without clipping their wings * Protecting your marriage when the weight of parenting feels overwhelming * And why a diagnosis is an open door — not the driver's seat We talk about tough love, safe foods, spiritual surrender, and the beauty of raising autistic children for God's glory — even when it feels exhausting. This conversation is honest, layered, and full of grace for the mom who just walked out of an evaluation appointment cross-eyed and overwhelmed. If you are in the early days of diagnosis… If you're wrestling with guilt… If you're learning how to love your spouse while loving your child fiercely… This one is for you.
